The 306 is made for dripping primarily or a bottom feed mod. They have to be kept very wet. Prime with 5-6 drops...wait a minute...prime with a couple more...wait a minute...then a couple more & hit it. The 306 will use a little more juice too.

So vaping through that 306 with a cartridge w/ wool is a bad idea then?

As a Camel Wide smoker for 20 years who recently quit I found that a Smoktech 510, and a mix of 25% Desert Ship, 25% RY4, 25% Tobacco and 25% "USA MIX" has worked the best for me. Tones down the sweetness of the DS (camel flavor) and the RY4 gives a nice wide throat hit. I got all of these from e-cigg.org (very fast shipping), and all at 28 mg strength. Good luck, as it took alot of trial to get one that was even close.

If you are interested in the Darwin, it's supposed to be restocked by the end of the week from what I read. Can't say on the GLV2.

Well I just don't know. It depends on whether variable voltage is preferable, as well as how you can configure the thing with attys, drip tips, etc., and I just don't know what the best ticket is.

Well, that is the point with a good variable volt, especially one like the Darwin which senses the resistence of the atty and automatically adjusts the power so the vape is consistent throughout. But the main point of a variable volt is that you can ajust the wattage to what ever feels right to you for any atty or carto. The other advantage to the Darwin and a few other VV's, is they have a regularted boost ciruit so as the battery drains, the power to the atty stays constant. With small battery PV's and any PV without this type of regulated circuit, as the battery drains, so does performance.

The way the Darwin is configured, it makes if foolproof. You just set the power to whatever seems best to you and forget it and just vape. No fuss, no muss. (plus 20+ hours on a charge).

Ok I am still trying to figure out where to go from here... Want to vape 5v.

Box mod or just a higher voltage pv. Darwin? Use a lr atty or not?

Looks like some of the box mods come with a choice of one or two batteries to give you 3.7 volts or 5 or 6. Then, I assume, you need an lr atty to simulate the voltage if you use one battery. What is the advantage of the two batteries vs just one? Is variable voltage better? Do you use lr atty's with them or not?

I looked at the monkey box, the ali'l and others.

Can someone explain and make a suggestion?
 
I would have to agree with smirkette. I love their juices and have been totally satisfied I cut my tobacco use down quite a bit.
Thanks

Re: juice, in my very limited experience, I've found that Vaperite's organics line pretty amazing. Very clean tasting flavors, not chemical at all (I've tried three so far: blueberry cheesecake, boysenberry, and strawberry shortcake). They're on the subtle side, though, so I don't know if that'd work for you. You can pick up a six flavor sampler for $20, I think.

I'll let the others talk about voltage, because I don't know squat about that. Good luck!

Hey thx, I posted before I saw your post... So do you use lr attys with it or not? Drip tip? The difference between a Darwin and a box mod is the bottom feed feature then? Is the Darwin a 5v vape?

The Darwin is "variable volt". You can set it to vape at any level between approximately 3.7 to 6.0 volts. (although the settings are in watts). So you have the best of all possiblities. There is no need to use LR attys on the Darwin to get a good vape and since the LR attys don't hold up as well, I wouldn't bother. I personally "drip" using regular 801 size attys and 801 cartos. You can use any atty/carto size you prefer.

Here is a more detailed overview of the Darwin:

Another good variable volt is the ProVari.

Well I have broken down and ordered a Monkey Box.

Meanwhile while I wait for it I think I will try to get some LR 501 attys and put them on my Tornado Tank with a drip tip. This is possible, right? I know you can get a cone cover for aesthetics, too, but that is not necessary, right?

You don't need the cone to drip on your Tornado, but it will fit with the atty and DT.
Congrats on the MB...bottom feeding mods are nice...
